of objects, you can use the following formula::
(OSDs * 100)
- Total PGs = ------------ *(rounded up to the nearest power of 2)*
+ Total PGs = ------------
Replicas
-The rounding to the nearest power of two is optional, but recommended
-if you want to ensure that all placement groups are roughly the same size.
+The result should be **rounded up to the nearest power of two.**
+Rounding up is optional, but recommended if you want to ensure that
+all placement groups are roughly the same size.
As an example, for a cluster with 200 OSDs and a pool size of 3
-replicas, you would estimate your number of PGs as follows:
+replicas, you would estimate your number of PGs as follows::
(200 * 100)
----------- = 6667. Nearest power of 2: 8192
